ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

SEX/NUDITY 2 - A man wakes up in a pile of rubble, fully nude, and another man tosses him some clothing (we see the man's bare chest, abdomen, back and legs and we see a portion of his bare hip as he slips on pants). A woman wears a low-cut dress that reveals cleavage and bare shoulders. A woman wears a low-cut blouse and short, shorts that reveal cleavage and bare legs. A woman wears a low-cut top that reveals cleavage in a few scenes. Women are shown wearing low-cut and off-the-shoulder evening gowns that reveal cleavage, bare shoulders and backs at a party. A woman wears a skin-tight suit that accentuates her figure and reveals cleavage. A man transforms into a huge green man and we see him bursting out of his shirt and his flesh becomes green (he is shown bare-chested and wearing short/torn pants).► A man and a woman kiss and hug a couple of times.► A man tells a woman, "Enjoy the moment" and she replies, "Get in here and I will." A man wakes up after being unconscious and says, "Please tell me no one kissed me." A man and a woman flirt in a few scenes.

VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - An alien deity with a glowing staff strikes a man in the face with it (he falls to the ground), grabs another man, pushes him down on a table and uses a spinning, cutting device to cut out his eye (we see the man writhing as the device cuts his eye; no blood is shown).► A man is stabbed through the back with a curved blade; we see the point stick out through his chest and there is blood on the blade and the victim's shirt and we see him with blood in his mouth (later he dies).

A man shoots another man (we see the man pull the bullet out of his clothing later and there appears to be a bit of blood, but he seems OK). A woman is shown lying dead on the floor with a burn mark on her face.► During an extended confrontation that causes mass destruction, we see alien monstrous vessels (they look like sea creatures with huge sharp teeth, fin-like protrusions from the sides and skeletal body and tail and seem alive) fly out of a portal and toward Earth, they slam into buildings and many alien soldiers off-load and attack civilians. Many alien soldiers descend on Earth, people are shot, and things are blown up; we see cars exploding and flipping, buildings crumbling and people scattering in fear. A man shoots arrows at alien soldiers and a woman shoots them with a handgun (we see them being struck and we see some black goo spray from a couple of wounds).

An alien deity fires a glowing staff toward a man and the beam is blocked by a superhero's shield; the deity and the superhero fight with punches and kicks. An alien deity slams a hammer onto a superhero's shield and a large ring of energy is emitted causing superheroes and the deity to fall to the ground and the vegetation around them to be destroyed.

An alien deity and a huge green superhero fight, the deity is thrown into equipment and it is crushed, and the deity strikes the superhero with a large hammer and he is thrown into a plane crumpling it (we see blood on the deity's nose). A huge green superhero is shot at by an airplane, he crashes through glass, jumps onto the plane, tears it apart, the pilot ejects and is thrown (he is safe), the plane explodes and the huge superhero is thrown (we hear him yell). A man is thrown out a high-rise building's window and falls toward the ground, a flying device clamps onto his wrists, covers his body with a metal suit and he flies back up just before hitting the ground. Two alien deities fight throwing each other around and striking each other repeatedly until one stabs the other in the side (we see him pull the blade out of his side and he appears OK).

A man and a woman fight with punches and kicks and head-butts, they draw knives and attack each other, one holds a knife to the throat of the other, and one is slammed hard into a metal railing and then kicked in the head. A woman tied to a chair and being interrogated is punched in the face and threatened (we see blood on her knee where her stockings are torn). A man yells and slams his hands on a table causing a woman to draw a gun and point it at him and many armed people to surround the building they are in.► An alien deity with a glowing staff presses the tip of it against a man's chest and the man's eyes become black and then turn crystal blue; he does to same to another man whose skin becomes discolored and his eyes change like the previous victim (they are both still alive).► A huge installation explodes and we see it sinking into a hole in the ground while people inside run for safety; a woman is trapped in tunnel when it collapses (we see her OK later with a bit of blood on her nose).

We see people in a government installation evacuating because an energy source appears to be "behaving" oddly. After an explosion we see a woman with her leg pinned under debris (she frees herself).

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
